At RE/MAX, we believe that serving the
communities in which we live and work
allows us to not only contribute to the
well-being of our society but to also be
concerned about the outcome of that
contribution. This dedication we call
Premiere Community Citizenship. Our
commitment as the exclusive real estate
corporate sponsor for the Children's
Miracle Network allows us the
opportunity to expand the universal
cause of caring for sick children.
The RE/MAX - Children's Miracle Network
affiliation began in 1986 when RE/MAX
affiliates in Calgary, Alberta and the
Quebec Region started raising funds for
this worthy cause. In 1992, RE/MAX
International adopted the Children's
Miracle Network as its official
corporate charity. Raising funds for
hospitalized children, to date RE/MAX
professionals have collectively
contributed over $67 million to the
cause.
In Canada, RE/MAX continues to be a
strong corporate contributor to the
Children's Miracle Network - $3.1
million in 2005. With funds contributed
by national sponsors like RE/MAX, the
affiliated hospitals are able to provide
needed medical care and equipment for
more than two million Canadian children
every year.
RE/MAX of Western Canada affiliates
raise funds through community
involvement such as the annual
Children's Miracle Network broadcast,
pancake breakfasts, golf tournaments,
ride-a-thons, walk-a-thons and a myriad
of other events. But the cornerstone of
our involvement is the Miracle Home
Program whereby the sales associate
pledges a contribution derived from each
transaction involving a RE/MAX Miracle
HomeŽ. 100% of their contribution helps
sick children from their community.
RE/MAX chose the Children's Miracle
Network as its international charity
because ...
The Mission Statement of the Children's
Miracle Network, an international
non-profit organization, is to "Generate
funds and awareness programs for the
benefit of children served by its
associated hospitals". An outstanding
cause!
RE/MAX lists and sells homes with the
very families whose children have been
served, or may one day be served, by a
Children's Miracle Network hospital. One
out of ten children will be treated at a
Children's Miracle Network hospital by
the age of 18.
RE/MAX stands for quality service and
for caring about the communities where
its Associates live and work. RE/MAX
makes the world a better place to live
through Premiere Community Citizenship.
